You quoted my last two lines out of context. When in context, it appears
that what I mean is not that you should just use ASDF2, but also use this
particular style that we want to promote, where a .asd file contains no
code whatsoever, and all code is moved to other systems that are required
at defsystem parsing time with :defsystem-depends-on. So: move you code
to some lisp file, create a foo.asd file that covers that asdf extension,
and use :defsystem-depends-on (:foo). It will then be compiled AND
more compatible with a future ASDF 3.

Maybe I didn't understand you, but are you suggesting that ASDF 2 .asd
files are compiled? Because I don't see this happening. Is there a
configuration tweak that I need to know about somewhere ?
Thanks
